Requirement for Hosting Power BI on Premises

[Anonymous]

Hi every one, 

Thanks for you help in advance!

My employer already purchased the Pro license for me to create & publish report to power bi cloud server. 

Now, we would like to know what are the requirements to host Power BI on the client's server? 

I saw different posts by Microsoft but, I got confused on what we actually need to install on the client's server to run power bi. 

Please share your information with pricing if possible!

Hi @Anonymous 

if you want to run Power BI on-premise, you need Power BI Report Server(PBIRS). Part of the requirement of PBIRS is that you need to have a SQL Server.  https://docs.microsoft.com/nb-no/power-bi/report-server/get-started

If you have a SQL Server Enterprise Edition lisence with software assurance, PBIRS is included in this lisence. If not, you have to buy it through Power BI premium, which has a list price of 4,995 USD pr month.
